Everyone's on a time-travel adventure! I'm raising city beasts in a post-apocalyptic world

Mo Qingluan paused for a moment: "It's better if Qianqian tells you about this herself; she knows more about it than I do."

As soon as she finished speaking, Lin Feng felt the force on his shoulder change. The hands were slightly smaller than Mo Qingluan's, and the movements were somewhat awkward but extremely earnest.

Lin Feng opened his eyes and turned his head to look. He met Xia Qianqian's slightly flushed face. She was wearing a white gauze dress, and her delicate white hands were clumsily massaging his shoulders. Her cheeks were slightly red, and her eyes subconsciously darted away, but she quickly looked back.

Mo Qingluan was already sitting on the jade steps of the spirit pool, her skirt lifted up, her bare feet splashing around in the water. Her restless feet would tease Lin Feng from time to time, and Lin Feng would grab them and play with them, running his fingers up her smooth instep...

"Lord of the City..." Xia Qianqian's voice was a little low. The two of them were flirting and teasing each other as if no one else was around, and they had even started touching. She just stood there awkwardly watching, not daring to leave.

"Keep talking, ignore me, I'm going to suppress this demon today!"

"Behold my wondrous powers (i)"

"I... I discovered that when the Wood Palace absorbs essence to repair itself, it condenses some materials, such as spirit jade and spirit paper... The spiritual energy is very strong, and they are basically materials for drawing talismans. I was thinking if I could use them to draw talismans. The things made would definitely be much larger than ordinary carriers."

"Okay... Ah, use it as you like. Those materials are meant to be used anyway; they won't breed if they're just piled up there."

Xia Qianqian covered her face, her fingers barely moving: "Thank you, City Lord."

Lin Feng: "By the way, have you mastered the basics of Qi gathering?"

"I've mastered it," Xia Qianqian said confidently. "I've already refined my first Star Essence, and I've also refined five Five Elements Essences..."

Lin Feng turned his head to look at her, his gaze becoming more serious. He hadn't expected her to have this talent.

"In that case, I will give you the next stage of inheritance. Next, you will condense the first essence of the stars into a divine seal and integrate it into the Wood Palace. From now on, the Wood Palace will be under your control, and you will be fully responsible for the matters of talismans. I only have one request: the more the better. If you don't have enough people, go to Hongying. She will select suitable women for you, and I will then confer upon them the profession of talisman master..."

Xia Qianqian was completely stunned. She originally thought she was just a newcomer who had just arrived and that it would be good enough if she could just survive. Now, from obtaining a profession to inheriting a legacy, and then to managing a palace of wondrous artifacts, it felt like she had fallen into the clouds. She didn't know how to describe her feelings at this moment.

Thinking of the hardships she endured after transmigrating and comparing them to her current state, her beautiful eyes instantly welled up with tears, and her voice trembled as she said, "Thank... thank you, Your Majesty... I will definitely draw the talismans well and will never let you down."

Lin Feng joked, "Hehe, you're just talking the talk, that's not enough."

You'd better give me a proper answer.

Lin Feng suddenly reached out and pulled Xia Qianqian into his arms.

Xia Qianqian stumbled into his arms, her whole body stiffened for a moment, her heart pounding like a drum, and the next moment she was silenced by a domineering kiss.

The water in the spirit pool rippled with waves, but it was a bit small; we'll expand the pool later.

After a long while, Mo Qingluan let out a long sigh: "Oh dear, my king, I barely led him through the door and you're already giving him the inheritance and the treasure hall. Your heart is definitely on the other side!"

Lin Feng turned his head: "What's wrong? Are you jealous? How about I reward you again?"

Mo Qingluan scoffed, but his movements were swift as he moved a few steps away from Lin Feng. This guy was a tireless beast, completely lacking in tenderness towards women. No, this dog of a man was so gentle with Xia Qianqian, yet he treated me like a piece of cake.

Thinking of this, Mo Qingluan glared fiercely at Lin Feng again.

"Alright, alright, you'll get your share of the benefits. None of the seven palaces are suitable for you right now. I'll give you two options: I'll see if I can find a suitable artifact to create a prototype for you next time, or you can condense a divine seal and use it to lay the foundation in the eastern constellation of the 28 outer constellations, then gather spiritual materials and build it slowly."

Upon hearing the two choices Lin Feng offered, Mo Qingluan barely hesitated. A shrewd glint flashed in her alluring eyes as she made her decision: "Waiting for a suitable artifact? That would take forever. I don't care. I choose the second option: using the divine seal as a foundation and doing it myself."

"However, how can you not compensate me with a rare item? Qianqian has one, why don't I? I don't care, Your Majesty~~"

"Here, here, here, stop shaking it, I'll help you snag one next time."

"No, it's about finding something back. How can you call it robbery? Under the whole heaven, all land belongs to the king! On the shores of the land, all people are the king's subjects."

You audacious scoundrel, hand over my treasure now!

Suddenly remembering something, Lin Feng raised his hand, and a wisp of star essence condensed in his palm. After a moment, it condensed into a copper coin with an ancient Daoist inscription on it, gleaming with a cool light. Lin Feng tossed the copper coin to Mo Qingluan.

"Take a look at this?"

Mo Qingluan reached out and took it, examining it carefully twice. He said uncertainly, "This is... a magic coin? You sealed a stellar essence inside?"

Lin Feng nodded: "Yes, it's magic money. It stores a wisp of star essence, which can be directly refined into magic power or used to refine materials. I plan to use it as a supplementary currency for Xuanfeng City, priced at the same level as a level 4 ghost crystal."

"Recently, there must be some people in Xuanfeng City who are about to cultivate their first essence of magic power. If they refine the essence they have collected into magic power, it would be a waste. I have only taught them some minor spells and methods for refining spiritual materials. You and Qianqian should open a shop to sell talismans and buy magic money and spiritual materials."

"If you find a way to earn more magic money, the palace you want can be built faster. Spirit soil, spirit bricks, array foundation... none of them can do without the support of the essence of heaven and earth."

Mo Qingluan clutched the money in his palm, his eyes crinkling into crescents as he smiled like a fox who had just stolen a chicken: "Don't worry, I may not be good at anything else, but when it comes to making money, you've come to the right person. Once I've built the palace, I'll leave the door open for you... at night, you know~"

She deliberately spoke the last few words softly and gently, with a hook at the end, making Xia Qianqian next to her blush.

Lin Feng smiled, got dressed, and walked out: "Then it's settled. You two discuss it, and if there are any problems, go find Fang Ling."

As Lin Feng walked out of the palace, he could still hear Mo Qingluan's joyful voice.

When she finds out how much it costs to build a palace, that a single magic coin can't even produce a single basic spirit brick, she'll know what a sinkhole is. Hopefully, she won't cry then.
